Tandoori Chicken

This
is a very tasty, and healthy dish. And its not often you come across dishes
that is both! And to top it off its very easy to prepare.

Ingredients

1.Chicken
wings/thighs/legs – 4 thighs, and 8
drumsticks

2.For
the marinade

1.Plain
yogurt – 3 tbspn

2.Tandoori
paste – 3 tbspn

3.Tandoori
powder – 3-4 tspn

4.Red
chilli powder or paprika – 1.5-2 tspn

5.Lemon
juice – 1.5 tspn

6.Oil
– 1.5-3 tspn

7.Ginger-garlic
paste – 1.5-3 tspn

8.Salt
- as per taste

Method

1.Marinate
the chicken with the ingredients given in the marinade section above. Let this
sit overnight (or 24-48 hrs, longer the better).

2.Place
the marinated chicken pieces on a wire rack placed over a rimmed baking sheet
lined with foil paper so the water and/or fat oozes out while baking. Grill/Bake
at 400o F for around 20mins, you will notice the pieces beginning to
blacken, then flip it over and bake for another 15mins. Then flip it over again
and bake for additional 5mins. The chicken pieces will appear slightly charred
(and that’s exactly how it should look!). Test if cooked, if not bake for
additional minutes.
